My man bought me a beautiful new parasol that is black with lace on the edges and top. It is so pretty. I carried it around all day at school today, which was good b/c it was very sunny out and the parasol was very handy. I got a few compliments on it and this one girl walking by just stared at me like she had no shame and had never been taught not to stare. I found it rather humorous but the whole thing would have been perfect if she'd have walked into a tree or branch or something. Not that I require it to have been painful but it would have been wonderful to see.
First day of school. Had no idea where to park, car was acting funny, so I pulled into a parking lot behind the housing where some friends live, my tie rod end broke. I just told people my front tires where very angry at each other and were having a face-off...as they were then facing towards each other. This particular story might sound rather familiar to a certain Eric who ran off to Chicago b/c this exact thing happened only a year ago to me and he had to come to my rescue. But I was happy, I had my parasol, I had made it to a parking space instead of it happening while I was driving 65 mph. I got to class and saw someone I used to go to school with and met a very friendly girl named Liz with the best piercings and very cool tattoo. Then I found out that I have to use oil paints and all of my acrylics are virtually useless, all new supplies. Then, went for a long walk, my parasol and me...singing "nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I guess I'll go eat worms" still in a rather chipper mood, mind you. Couldn't fix the car today but got a car to borrow for tomorrow from lovely family. And to top off the day, I discovered that the front zipper on my cute new skirt...was unzipped all day. But it isn't a very large zipper so I don't think other people noticed. Or they were distracted by my beautiful parasol. Oh, what a wonderful boyfriend. And tomorrow I'm looking forward to my delivery -- a new pair of sandals, a set of 3 earrings, and a lovely new lingerie set...all for just $8. The shipping cost almost as much as the entire purchase. Yay.
Why am I in such an "ok" mood for all this stress? Usually I'd have nearly had a breakdown at the first problem, especially since it was my first day at a new school and I'm so confused. It must have been my parasol. Peachy...with a side of keen.
